May we always realize the cost of our freedom. We can never repay them, but the very least we can do is uphold the ideals that they died protecting and honor them in the choices we make each day.

Just because you are unnatural, bizarre, bring problems on yourself, and don't fit in does not mean I dislike you...well, yeah it does

If this thread were moved to "General Discussion" the non-member public could view it. It gives a guy a better idea of how a Mosin sight tool works. Not to exploit the free publicly factor of course. I personally thought the tools function was more complicated. If one of the Hi Point Talk brethren benefits during the educational process...seems like a win for the producer as well as the consumer.

I wasn't aware of the non-member viewing restrictions thingy. And even as simple as it is, I still run into quite a few who can't figure out how to use it. Tandekross sells a couple of the tools on Amazon and one review gave the 91/30 tool a ONE-STAR review, said he had to dremel out the hole in order to get it to fit. The only way he would have had to do that was if he was trying to slide the tool over the SIGHT instead of the barrel. Of course he never actually read the instructions. But the other 65 stellar reviews pretty well render his irrelevant, but still affects the overall rating.

Something about Mosin owners I've noticed, is they seem to not like to give feedback when it's positive. Tandemkross has sold literally thousands since they started selling them, and yet only 66 have left reviews. I run into the same thing on ebay as well, the guys who buy the Lee Enfield tool are near 100% on giving feedback, while the Mosin buyers run less than half.

The "Off Topic Chatter" doesn't show up unless your logged in. Only members can view it.

Yea ...sight tools aren't complicated. I just thought opening dialogue on the subject would stimulate curiosity in lurkers who hadn't read the article. Now all we have to do is figure out how to get President Trump to mention it in a tweet.

If anyone knows how to change it over to public viewing please get with me and I will be happy to change it.... Ive been going through the settings and haven't had any luck. I'm sure its something easy I am missing.

Sorry to see you go Dean. Never enough time and it makes us all realize just what being mortal is. You have been a true friend to me and I will miss you every day.

Cool beans. I think that the review may drive more sales to Tandemkross, but I know some folks are a bit tight to spend $30 so hopefully they are Internet-savvy enough to do a search for ELBY and that will lead them to my site.

But the best part is I actually went to your site (ELBY) and saw a picture of the mighty man hisownself...Not at all the way I had my mental picture...That's a good thing...hehehe

I have spent many years cultivating that personal appearance... I'm at that stage where comfort is a priority. I started wearing do-rags way back when I rode a bike, I usually wore a baseball style cap but got tired of the dang thing blowing off, there's just no dignified way for a old guy to chase down a hat that's blowing across a parking lot. Do-rags don't blow off (if they do, you should be heading for the tornado shelter!) and they wick the sweat off your head and actually cool it down if there's any breeze at all, and best of all, they prevent sunburn on my dome!

Also have an oilskin with no mesh for winter and rainy days. Gotta keep the tops of the ears and the head from burning. I already have a small amount of cartilage growing out of the top of one ear due to skin abatement from too many times frostbit and sunburned. The doc burns it off, the skin grows back and the process starts for the next five or so years as it grows out again. At least, so far, it's not cancer I guess.
